Local ground is cherty, rocky clay over limestone, so most jobs here start with grading and soil before any stone goes down.

Materials for Sturdivant Projects

Grading and bed prep drive most orders in this market. Rocky Ozark ground and heavy clay leave little good soil to plant in, so buyers bring in topsoil, garden soil and fill to build the grade back up. Stone and sand follow once the surface is set.

Soil, Fill and Bed Prep

• Top Soil: lawn and bed prep over rocky ground, heavy clay and fill.
• Garden Soil: raised beds and planting areas.
• Fill Dirt: raising grade, filling low spots and backfill before a base rock course goes down.
• Shredded Mulch: beds and tree rings, holding moisture through hot summers.

Base, Stone and Sand

Base rock, also called type 5 base or type 1 base, is the standard Missouri base material. Add Driveway Gravel to surface a drive or top a compacted base course, and Screenings to bed pavers, flagstone and patios.

Ground and Conditions in Sturdivant

Heavy storms send fast runoff off rocky slopes into narrow valleys and creeks. On the flatter uplands, much of that water drains underground through sinkholes and cracks in the bedrock. That shapes what you put in the ground and where you put it.

Plan drainage before you surface anything. Use 1 inch clean, sold as #57 stone, for French drains and drainage beds, and Drain Rock behind walls, along foundations and under downspout runs. Never use base rock or crusher run for drainage: those carry fines and hold water.

Storm runoff also washes soil and chert gravel off slopes and graded ground. Arm creek banks, pond dams and culvert outlets with RipRap, and keep soil from washing into sinkholes and bedrock openings.

Spring is the wettest stretch and storms raise creeks quickly, so time grading work around it. Chert and rock in the ground slow digging more often than mud does. January nights average below freezing and days usually thaw, so freeze-thaw cycles are frequent.
